Sleek Headlights.... new or old type?

I think Ive seen this picture somewhere else before, dont remember where. They look very much like RE headlights and evo-r. These are sold on ebay from some taiwanesse company. They claim no need for frame cutting and fitment is 90% cases good.

Those are the older version of the Evo-R sleek lights, known for their poor lighting and mixed fitment reviews.

I don't remember which thread it was but I read about how the light output was not at its greatest with these and that the cover would not fit over the bucket right, the actual clear plastic.

yeah it's BS. If you look closely at the actual lights (projectors) they aren't even the same as MFanto's car.



I would walk away. From what I hear even evor-r's kit has quality issues so I can't imagine what a knock off quality would be.

Even used ones will cost a lot. Just get some Knightsport ones and call it a day.

Get ready to spend anywhere from 800-1500 for a set of quality aftermarket headlights (flush or upgrade).

Or, since it's just an aesthetics thing, you can always do a HID Retrofit and call it a day.
